Juventus has just been handed a 15-point deduction in Serie A by the FIGC, a decision that means we will now struggle to make the top four.
Juve had been under investigation for suspected capital gains, with investigators making some of their evidence public in the last few months.
Their discovery showed Juve cooked their books, but the club maintains its innocence and says it has acted correctly and its accounting statements are subject to different interpretations.
As the FIGC investigated the Bianconeri, UEFA was closely following the case and a report on Calciomercato now reports the European governing body could also hand the Bianconeri a ban.
Juve remains one of the clubs supporting the European Super League, which means they are at war with UEFA already.
If the governing body finds them guilty of breaking their rules of engagement, it could be more problems for the Bianconeri.
Juve FC Says
This point deduction is a terrible decision for Juve and we must pray that it gets overturned on appeal.
If it doesn’t, UEFA will have grounds to launch a campaign to get us banned, which is not a good thing to think about.
As the club has maintained its innocence, fans can only keep supporting it and hope everything changes on appeal.
Do we really need to ask this question? With Cefarin in charge is there anyone who actually believes we will not be handed a ban? It’s clear after FIGC that Agnelli pissed off the wrong people and this is now payback which will continue with UEFA as well. The best thing now this team can do is bring in a trust worthy front office and clean its image up.
Agnelli and his decisions utterly destroyed our reputation on and off the pitch. You can appeal all you like, and maybe even reduce punishment, but we are still poor. Making it about ceferin is irrelevant right now as he doesn’t he do our books. At the end of the the day our footballing level outside of Italy is so low that it doesn’t really matter with allegri in charge, but I’m sure the brand fans will blame everyone except the people who got us into this mess while the top players will leave. The fans are punished yet again. If it turns out we are not to be be punishment then we can resume, but a whole board resigning tells the whole story. The Them or Us cheerleaders will try to weaponise the situation as usual crying ‘victim’ but you have to ask why the corporation haven’t fought for our name before instead of trying to act noble. No one had told us the whole story
